Reply To: AI piano player?

I don’t use AI piano VSTs, but I believe that  the Ujam Virtual Pianist line uses AI that does “smart accompaniment and performance.”

We could easily have a lively thread on AI instrument plugins; they’re clearly a topic with diverse opinions. I still record music the way I did when I was a little kid, using multi-track reel-to-reel and cassette recorders. I play in everything track by track and don’t use loops or and pre-made MIDI. To me, the joy of playing is that it’s actually something you create, not a recording or MIDI of someone else playing. But I realize that we’re all different, and from a business perspective, I think there’s a huge public appetite for AI in this space for people who aren’t focused on musicianship or even people who say, play guitar and don’t have the keyboard skills to pull off an acceptable performance and don’t have a collaborator who plays the keys.

One thing is certain: whether we love it or hate it, AI tools are here to stay, and they’re certainly only going to increase.

Now AI in production is another story for me. I use Izotope and Sonible AI tools regularly in the mixing and mastering process.
